Introduction

In this document we are characterizing the most common species in Denmark, in order to do that we are using data from NOVANA including 1.855.717 samples in 2.450 sites, and 50.261 plots sampled from 2003, till 2015. This includes 1.757 that have been sampled at least once.

Number of plots per species

If we take into account in how many plots a species has been detected at list once, this is the list of the species in Denmark ordered by the number of occurrences it has, note that using the search bar you can search for only one family. You can also download this list or any other table within this document with the buttons above, as well as set the number of species to be shown, you can see 100 most common species in red letters and yellow background.

You can also explore the following interactive plot, you can choose to show all families, or click on any of the ones which has one of the 500 most common species to get an overview of their composition, and check the number of occurrence per species, by hovering over the plot.

You can play with the controls wher you can download the images or the data within the graph.

Also in the following interactive plot, you can check the distribution of the species occurrences abundance, note the distribution of rare and common species, you can zoom in and out, and hover over the bars to identify the species. You can also download the image using the camera icon

Number of species per family

The number of species per family in a decreasing order are as follows:

Again, in the following plot, play around with the graph, to check the distribution of the species number, zoom in and out, and explore the families with most and least amount of species

Number of species per Genus

The number of species per genus is as follows:
